Bookshop thrives with humanistic approach to business [Philippines]

…The...permanent employees comprise around half of the entire workforce [at]…Pandayan Bookshop...[It] also…[gives] monthly bonuses and [employs] a profit-sharing scheme, and cooperatives that augment the employees’ income...[E]mployees are paid...if they need to stay in the hospital to take care of a sick child....[and] can attend family day at their child’s school…“Part of the company’s core mission is that regular employees are supposed to end up with a house and lot, send their children to good school, eat nutritious food, wear decent clothing, and spend leisure time once in a while.”
